Showing agents will automatically receive an email asking for feedback and interest.

You will receive a copy of the request email and a copy of the feedback email. We will discuss this feedback on our update calls.

According to NAR statistics, if you have many showings and no offers in the first two weeks on the market your home is overpriced by 5% and needs a price adjustment to prompt the sale.

If there are few or no showings in that time frame, a 10% reduction is necessary in order to realign the property with the competition and prompt buyer interest in the home.

My job is to keep you informed, updated, and focused on selling the home for the best price the market will deliver.

This will happen within the first 30 days or your home will become stigmatized and eventually sell for less.

Phase 3–The Offer

Think of your property as a product rather than your home.

When an offer is presented, analyze its merits as they relate to your goals.

Don’t feel “offended” by a legitimate attempt to negotiate a win-win sale for all parties.

Place yourself in the buyers’ shoes; based on the recent economic news wouldn’t you want to make certain you don’t overpay for your next home?

Phase 4–From Contract to Closing

Home Inspection

Allow access to the property for the home inspection.

Expect there to be issues of which you are not aware.

Consider the buyer’s response from the standpoint of moving the sale forward.

Either correct the issues requested or offer a monetary credit where appropriate.

Now that you are aware of a problem you must either fix it OR disclose it to the next buyer

Appraisal

This is an independent valuation of the property required by the lender for financing approval.

If there is financing involved the contract will be contingent upon an appraisal.

If the appraised value is at the contract price or higher we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

If it is lower than the contract price there is a chance that the buyers will ask you to lower your price to the appraised value, to negotiate a middle point between the contract price and appraised value, or the buyers may cancel the contract if a satisfactory agreement cannot be reached on the price.
